Face Covering Requirement Lifted

Executive Order 2021-06 issued by Governor Ducey on March 25, 2021 calls for any remaining local government mask mandates to be phased out and specifically says that they cannot be enforced. 

As a result, Mayor Skip Hall signed a proclamation terminating the face covering mandate in Surprise (with some exceptions). Read it here.

The Governor’s order does make a couple of exceptions. The city retains the right to set and enforce mitigation polices in our city government buildings and on public transportation. This includes face coverings. Wearing of face coverings/masks is now recommended within city facilities, with the exception of Surprise City Court, where they are required.

Private Businesses

Under the Governor’s order, businesses may institute and enforce face covering policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and they retain the right to refuse service to those who do not comply with their policies. 

Public Transportation

Per federal mandate, face coverings are also required while riding public transportation. See the Centers for Disease Control Mandate, here. 

City Facilities are open to the public, and Public Meetings are open to in-person attendance. 

The city has implemented COVID-19 mitigation protocols consistent with CDC guidelines. These include: frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces, additional hand sanitizing stations, plexiglass barriers at service counters, and physical distancing measures. Wearing of face coverings/masks is now recommended within city facilities, with the exception of Surprise City Court, where they are required.
